Welcome and Approach

Thank you for considering working with me. I look at every birthchart that comes through my hands as luminous, a unique and valuable element of a person's life, that if they choose, can help them create more peace in themselves, and also navigate their place in a turbulent world.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive birth chart reading. During our two-hour session, I encourage recording the conversation - whether we're meeting in person or online. I'll provide an audio recording to support your continued reflection and insights. I have personally found it helpful to have the readings I have received recorded because as life unfolds, I am able to hear new things and see things from different angles.

The Archetypal Exploration

In your birth chart reading, we are going to discuss your chart through the lens of symbols as archetypes (universal patterns of human experience that reveal deep, shared psychological meanings). We can use imagination, stories, dreams, images, and symbols to explore these. We can ask lots of questions.

The symbols in a chart are themselves archetypal - carrying inherent patterns that can be guiding and illuminative. Often in our conversation of discussing these symbols, we will begin to reveal your unique nature, and honor it. We talk about the ways you navigate life, and perceive how you attune to your nature like an instrument playing its part in the symphony of life.

How do you bring your essence and gifts to the world? There are many possibilities, some of these conversations can involve work, relationships, creativity, spirituality, and the nuanced terrain of self-doubt.

Healing and Transformation

Using the archetypal symbols of planets, signs, and houses, as well as the stories of our lives, we'll explore potential patterns of growth and challenge. We'll also gently examine the wounds, blockages, and unconscious patterns that emerge in your chart. These are not obstacles, but doorways - potential sites of profound healing and transformation. This isn't therapy, but a collaborative mapping of your inner landscape. Together, we'll approach these patterns with curiosity and kindness, seeing how they might illuminate a pathway beyond habitual suffering and toward your authentic self. We'll move at a pace that feels supportive and safe for you.

Evolutionary Astrology

In Evolutionary Astrology, we explore your birth chart as a map of potential, revealing patterns carried through time. Using North and South Node symbols, we'll gently investigate inherited habit energies - through the lens of reincarnation or ancestral patterns.

The North Node illuminates your growth path, offering fresh tools and new perspectives. The South Node reveals familiar patterns, some that may be outworn. We'll identify what strengths you have and what emerging possibilities are calling you forward.

What unconscious tendencies might be transforming? How can we honor your past while crafting an expansive future?

Follow-Up Readings

Following a natal birth chart reading, you have several options to explore your chart's depth. Some clients choose a focused reading on a specific chart area, while others dive into a Transits and Progressions reading. The Transits and Progression reading focuses on the unfolding of your chart, your growth process, through the process of age, time, changes, and development. It's an incredible way to look at what's happening symbolically, in your psyche and spirit as your life unfolds. Because this process is complex, I encourage you to ask me more. It's fascinating, and I love exploring these depths together.
